I should end up with a square to maximize area.
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter is \"+P+=+700+\" ft
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+2W+%2B+2L+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2W+%2B+2L+=+700+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2L+=+700+-+2W+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+L+=+350+-+W+\" ft
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The area, \"+A+=+W%2AL+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+A+=+W%2A%28+350+-+W+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+A+=+-W%5E2+%2B+350W+\" ft2
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The formula for the W-value of the vetex,
\n" ); document.write( "( maximum in his case ) is
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W%5Bmax%5D+=+-b%2F%282a%29+\" when the general form is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+a%2Ax%5E2+%2B+b%2Ax+%2B+c+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W%5Bmax%5D+=+-350%2F%28-2%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W%5Bmax%5D+=+175+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+L%5Bmax%5D+=+350+-+175+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+L%5Bmax%5D+=+175+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+A%5Bmax%5D+=+W%5Bmax%5D%2AL%5Bmax%5D+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+A%5Bmax%5D+=+175%2A175+\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the max area is a square. You can calculate
\n" ); document.write( "and check my math.
\n" ); document.write( "Note also:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+2W+%2B+2L+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+2%2A175+%2B+2%2A175+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+700+\"
\n" ); document.write( "as it should
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
